KEY ORIGINATION (NEW CAR KEYS)

Lost your car keys? We can come to you and originate new ones. We can work on both transponder equipped keys (in most newer models, with only a few exceptions) and non-transponder keys . If you just need your car keys copied, you can stop by our shop in Vista for the service.

CAR KEY COPYING

Car key duplication is significantly cheaper than complete replacement of car keys. If you consistently find yourself in a situation with lost car keys, it’s a very good idea to get duplicate car keys made ahead of time. Not only will this keep you from getting stuck somewhere with no keys, it will also ease the burden on your wallet. A spare car key is significantly less than getting a new key, in case you lose your keys often its always a great idea to get a duplicate. Do yourself a favor and call us or come to our location to get fast and affordable car key duplication.

DOOR & IGNITION REKEYING

When you lose your keys and are afraid that someone will find them and use them to gain access to your vehicle, you should have the locks and ignition rekeyed as soon as possible.

We rekey the door locks and ignition to a new key(s) so that your lost ones, if found, will not be able to open the vehicle and/or start the car. In vehicles equipped with a transponder system, this includes erasing your lost keys and programming new ones.
